Don’t bother asking why I’ve got no tree in the house
I’m sick of explaining I’m sure you can figure it out
It’s only the season for me to be filled with contempt
You’ll never convince me, but kudos for making attempts
Everybody’s sorry, but nobody is free
“Maybe I’ll catch you on New Year’s Eve”
Put it in the diary, then we’ll wait and see
If you still remember by January
“Just put on the hat for the photo, you’re spoiling the fun”
“Maybe if we just do both of the parties at once”
Don’t be a killjoy, it’s not about you, boy
Everybody’s sorry, but nobody is free
“Maybe I’ll catch you on New Year’s Eve”
Put it in the diary, then we’ll wait and see
If you still remember by January
Today is my birthday and I’m sat by the lake on my own
The quiet is perfect, there wasn’t a soul on the road
It’s been dark for hours and I guess it is getting late
I don’t really care if the ice is supporting my weight
